You aren't kidding about the content. I cannot see it as a single epsiode movie really. I seem to recall the audible version was around 28ish hrs. more or less. Most books made into movies seem to be under 300 pages or about a 3-5hr audiobook.
Heck look at how much was left out of each Harry Potter book when the movies were released. If people had not read the book no way the series makes any sense.
But if you look here you'll see the info about the movie:

Apparently it was delayed due to the writers strike. But it looks like a committed project. I would rather an HBO or whatever mini series than trying to push everything into a typical theatrical release.
No matter the story is so good it needs to be put out there for more people to see and maybe they will want to then read the book.
